I have a stealth cam IR and I hate it. I watched 7 deer in my yard and not one picture.. (Yes I know how to set it up)
My question is.. What camera should I get? I want nice clear pictures, Really, I want pictures! Like to have a IR one. Cuddeback Capture IR? Give me all your guys opinions on any of them Thanks for your time Jeff

My SG560 has been a great camera. This is a good site to check out for reviews as well as help: http://www.chasingame.com/index.php?id=139

IDK about the Bushnell, though it has great range, awesome detection.
I just think night pics are lacking in quality when compared to white flash cams.
I've got a 6yr old Moultrie that takes better night pics than my Bushnell.
But range, detection and battery life of the Moultrie are abysmal when compared to the Bushnell.
Take a look at my albums, compare ir to incandescent flash.
Moultrie
Moultrie again

And random Bushnell pic showing the detection range and trigger speed.

These are some good suggestions. In addition, you also might want to check out the Wildgame Innovations X6C and some of the Primos cams. Hope you find what works best for you.

I currently own 2 Reconyx HC 500s and 2 Moultrie I-40s. If you can afford a Reconyx camera buy one. You won't be making a mistake. Otherwise I would look for a Moultrie. I have owned cameras made by Cuddeback, Recon Outdoors, Trailtimer, beside the brands I currently own. The Cuddebacks were terrible in the cold Wisconsin winters. The Recon Outdoors cams had terrible batterylife but took pretty clear pictures and the Trailtimer cams were 35mm. I have found by my own use and speaking with other trail cam users that you get what you pay for. Personally I will be buying more Reconyx cams in the future, as I get the money. I look at it as an investment as Reconyx cameras are consistantly rated #1 which helps maintain the value of used cameras in case you want to sell.
